Lovable baker Dame Victoria Sponge takes him under her wing, offering him a job at the failing family bakery, working alongside her daughter Alice and her son Jack. As the group embark on a cruise ship holiday, King Rat lurks in the shadows, determined to destroy London and become ruler of the world!
But, with Fairy Bowbells guiding the way, they soon end up in Morocco, where Dick gets signed to the Sultan's record label as a reward for his expert rat hunting! This hilarious pantomime is packed to the brim with puns, show stopping musical numbers, and all the classic panto gags you've come to know and love!
Script Sample
DAME VICTORIA SPONGE
Oh, I feel dreadful! I’ve got seaweed in me knickers, sand in places I daren’t mention, and I spent two whole hours looking for Nemo. Trust me, you really don’t want to know where I finally found him, darling. And to top it all off, I nearly drowned! My bra strap got tangled on the ship’s rail. I was flapping like a caught haddock!
JACK
Now that’s what you call a booby trap!
DAME VICTORIA SPONGE
And just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, two handsome men from the coastguard arrived. Said they were out looking for beached whales.
ALICE
Aw, that’s lovely! Did they help you out of the sea?
DAME VICTORIA SPONGE
No love, they rolled me back in!
DICK WHITTINGTON
Has anyone seen Tommy?
DAME VICTORIA SPONGE
Oh yes, he’s snoozing on the sand dunes. Poor thing wolfed down an entire fish pie at the buffet!
JACK
Talk about a cat-astrophic appetite!
DAME VICTORIA SPONGE
It’s not funny! We’re stranded on a beach, there’s no food, and we’ve got nowhere to sleep tonight!
JACK
What are those things people sleep in on holidays?
DAME VICTORIA SPONGE
A camper.
JACK (flamboyant and cheekily)
What are those things people sleep in on holidays?
DAME VICTORIA SPONGE
